Scanning a QR Code on Clover
Scanning a QR code on your Clover point-of-sale (POS) is the fastest and simplest way to recognise a customer’s account in the Facilipay ecosystem. This method is commonly used when redeeming reward points, identifying loyalty accounts, or linking customer profiles during a transaction.
Before You Scan
To ensure successful QR code scanning on your Clover device:
-
Clear Line of Sight: Make sure there are no obstructions between the QR code and the Clover camera.
-
Good Lighting: Ensure sufficient lighting at the till. The built-in camera on Clover follows standard camera behavior and may not scan well in low light.
-
Network Connectivity: Confirm your Clover device is connected to the network so it can retrieve and display customer details after scanning.
How to Scan a QR Code
-
Open the Relevant Facilipay App on Clover
Launch the Facilipay app (such as Loyalty or Gift Cards) on your Clover POS where the QR scan option is available. -
Present the QR Code to the Clover Camera
Hold the customer’s QR code — either on their phone screen or printed on a physical card — in front of the built-in camera. -
Align and Scan
-
Position the QR code in the camera’s line of sight.
-
Tilt or adjust the card if needed until the system recognises it.
Once scanned, the customer’s details should appear instantly on the Clover screen.
-
What Happens After Scanning
After the QR code is recognised:
-
The customer’s account information will automatically populate in the Facilipay app.
-
You can proceed with loyalty points, gift card transactions, or other linked actions depending on the module you are using.
Alternatives & Helpful Tips
-
External QR Scanner: If your Clover’s built-in camera doesn’t perform well due to lighting or angle issues, you can connect a USB QR scanner to your Clover device as an alternative.
-
Consistent Placement: Encourage customers to hold their QR codes steady and centred in front of the camera for faster recognition.
Troubleshooting
If the QR code does not scan:
-
Verify that lighting at the POS is sufficient.
-
Ensure there are no physical obstructions or reflections blocking the QR code.
-
Check network connectivity so customer data can load after scanning.
-
Consider using a dedicated USB scanner for faster scanning.
